Picnic theatre and pre-show music program, in the beautiful Buninyong Botanic Gardens. A family-friendly fantasy of a birds' eye view of the world. Banding together, the birds declare themselves gods and build a city in the sky, Cloudcukooland. They then take on the Olympian gods and humans. A spectacle of theatre, satire, song and dance, in the perfect setting.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
